Thanks, Denny and Alvin -

I'll just clean up hinges and springs and try to convence myself that they look as good as Denny's. My buddy will be back in FL next week. We'll play with the hinges on his '53 F-100 (pic slow to load) to see why they are not holding the hood open.

> NICK - Did Alvin and Denny answer your question? ... the spring does not hold up the hood by itself. Or were you asking how to install the complete hinge with spring? Sorry for leading your thread astray. I thought that you were asking how to install (remove) the spring from the hinge.
